Peru’s Sacred Valley of the Incas

Qorikancha Gardens

My daughter, Alison, and I just got back from an epic trip to hike the Inca Trail in Peru. The whole trail is 26 miles, ebbing and flowing between 11,000 and 14,000 feet in elevation. Because of this, we needed a few days to acclimatize before starting. So, we began our journey with a day exploring the many Incan ruins and beautiful scenery around Cusco and within the Sacred Vally of the Incas.
